LESIONBRAIN : Software providing IC extraction, brain tissue clasification and delineation/classification of white matter hyperintense lesions using T1 and flair MR images

Domain Health and wellbeing

Technologies Imaging Technologies for Health
Digital exploitation of health data

Challenges

Software providing researchers and practitioners with automated quantitative analysis of MRI data. LesionBrain is able to extract lesions and classify them into subcategories in a very accurate way. The volume and category of brain lesions can represent important biomarkers for several neurological diseases (multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer's disease, lupus, etc.).

Innovative solution

lesionBrain is a pipeline to automatically segment white matter lesions from MRI data (T1 + FLAIR). It gets anonymized MRI brain volumes in NIFTI format and produces a pdf report with the volumes of the lesions and their locations. The average processing time of the whole pipeline is around 20 minutes.

APPLICATIONS

  • Clinical trials

  • Companion diagnostics

  • Clinical routine

COMPETITIVES ADVANTAGES

  • No need of learning complex software packages

  • No need having expensive computational infrastructures in your local site

  • Faster and more accurate than other solutions

  • LesionBrain works in a fully automatic manner and is able to provide brain structure volumes without any human interaction

  • Two reports (CSV and PDF) providing all the volumetry values calculated from the segmentations as well as asymmetry indexes

DEVELOPMENT STATUS: 

  • LesionBrain already processed more than 18000 MRI through volBrain platform.

How it works

White matter lesions were manually outlined by an expert radiologist using multimodal MRI data (T1w + FLAIR) to create a library of 43 cases. After the segmentation process, lesions are classified based on their location as periventricular, deep white, juxtacortical and infratentorial.

 

 

Once the process is finished, you will be notified by e-mail so you will be able to download a package including some image files and two reports (CSV and PDF) offering all the volumes estimated from the segmentations. The PDF includes patient information, lesion classes, volumes and their locations in MNI space. It also includes several snapshots from the different labeling steps as a quality control.
